I have a posicle (now broken) and a skateboard from the 90's (I recently broke it). Sorry but I can't see any pictures. No more skateboards for me until I get a new one. :-( I am just borrowing a longboard for now. Trying to learn how to slide.

Yikes, doc and bb as newbs in 2010! doc has a few beers to get the dutch courage to ride ramp, with or without a helmet i don't know :-) and bb rides a cab stencil, a non popsicle board. my how times change lol

I think wake was meaning I had a cab stencil. I would choose a popsicle over an old school with no nose. My preference is 15" wheel base with a good sized upturned nose and at least 8.5" width. I like shaped boards so long as they have good dimensions.
